Asuka (Yuki Uchida) wakes up in the quiet room of a mental asylum quiet with no recollection of how she got there. The last thing she claims to remember is taking a bunch of pills before passing out. She eventually comes to grips with her situation and gets to know some of the other patients, including a thin goth girl named Miki (Yu Aoi)—who claims she’s only there because she has trouble eating—and AV actress Nishino (Shinobu Otake) who tends to enjoy manipulating other patients. At first Yuki seems to have a firm grasp on who the other “normal” patients are that she can relate to, but gradually details are revealed that show things aren’t always what they seem, and everyone (including her) are probably there for a valid reason. Region 2, NTSC. Dolby 5.1 and 2.0 audio tracks included in Japanese with English subtitles. Disc 1 features include commentary track with director Suzuki Matsuo and star Yuki Uchida.
